Big 12 Wrap: Week 6
After two weeks of no (American) football in Greece, I watched WAY too much football this weekend. Here are this week's thoughts on the Big 12 action:
Oklahoma 28, Texas 21
Forget all the talk about this game being secondary and other teams leading the South. These are the two elite programs in the Big 12, and everyone knows it. This game wasn't a thing of beauty, but it was a great rivalry match, with two excellent young QBs battling to the very end. Oklahoma was a little better this time, although its defense will have to improve next week against Mizzou, which has more offensive diversity than "McCoy to big guys inexplicably left running free down the middle of field."
Missouri 41, Nebraska 6
Nebraska is obviously not the real deal, despite lots of preseason talk about the program being ready to rejoin college football's elite. Since Gary Pinkel teams tend to underachieve over the course of a season, we don't yet know if Mizzou is the real deal. But their team speed is impressive, as they demonstrated in humbling the Huskers.
Kansas 30, Kansas State 24
The Jayhawks finally score a meaningful victory, with a big road win in Manhattan.
Texas A&M 24, Oklahoma State 23
Fran beats Gundy in the battle of the Big 12's two dumbest coaches. I think that while watching this game, I had moments where I actually mimicked that vacant, emotionless stare of Coach Fran, as I tried to stay awake watching A&M's plodding offense. It's still hard to believe they ditched R.C. Slocum for... that. *snore*
Texas Tech 42, Iowa State 17
Iowa State is terrible. Texas Tech always beats hell out of terrible teams. Next!
Colorado 43, Baylor 23
Same old Baylor...
